Surgical site opens : Best to see the physician who performed the procedure. And, unless instructed, best to let the person ( or colleague)who performed the procedure , remove the sutures.In the meantime keep the site clean and try to be seen asap . Good luck.

Open surgical wound: You need to return to the surgeon that did the procedure as soon as possible. You need a clear plan on the care of the wound so that all of your questions are answered.
